First and foremost Dr. Buchanan is the best plastic surgeon. I needed my implants to be removed and had other consultations, but no one was making me feel comfortable enough to proceed. Until I found Vivify! I called and left a message for a call back from the patient coordinator. Well Jess called me, and she was so caring, understandable and gave me all the information I needed at that call (45 minutes long). I made the decision to move forward with surgery and 4 weeks later I had my surgery. At preop Dr. Buchanan was very informative, charismatic, professional, kind, understandable and explained to me everything that was going to happened, before, during and after surgery. The day of the surgery he was by my side until anesthesia kicked in. My surgery went great, he even removed old capsules that were left by the prior doctor (i will repeat this, Dr. B is amazing). He gave my husband all instructions and even his personal number. He answered anytime we texted with questions after surgery. It’s been 7 months since my surgery and all I can say it’s DR. BUCHANAN IS THE BEST!! Their office it’s beautiful and they all make you feel welcome. I am having consult soon for another procedure needed. I give Dr. Buchanan and Vivify staff 100 🌟 ‘S
I felt confident from my first consultation that Dr. Buchanan was the plastic surgeon I needed to do my procedure. He and his staff took the time to explain to me my options and made recommendations on what they thought would be best for me. The entire process was easy and thorough. I am currently 6 weeks post op and extremely happy with my recovery and results so far. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and it seems like a family type work environment where they all really enjoy what they do. I’d highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Buchanan and his staff are amazing! I researched several different doctors and facilities to have my breast augmentation done, but knew after my consultation that this was the place for me. I can be very indecisive at times but he was not only patient with me, but very helpful in helping me decide sizes and going over every detail of the procedure and recovery process. The staff was very easy to reach before and after the surgery whether I had questions or they were just checking in on me. I felt like they were friends of mine who genuinely cared about making sure I had the best experience possible. I couldn’t be happier with my results, Dr Buchanan exceeded my expectations and the confidence I’ve gained from his work has literally been life changing!
Dr. Buchanan is amazing! He is extremely comforting and gave me exactly what I wanted. He really took the time to answer all my questions and took care of all my needs post surgery. Everyone here is so nice, they treat you like family. Best decision I ever made was trusting VIVIFY plastic surgery for my procedure. I’m so happy with my results I’d give them 10 stars if I could.
As a nurse in the healthcare field I know the signs of a good surgeon when I see one. After consulting with a few others and by word of mouth (from a few other nurses who used him) I decided to meet Dr. Buchanan. Finding a good surgeon who is also personable is rare. Finding a good surgeon who also has a great team working for them is even more rare. The moment I consulted with Jess on the phone I knew I had found the right place. I always felt I was in good hands with Dr. Buchanan and his team. I am thrilled with the results of my breast lift. I feel he was able to tailor my results to the look I was wanting and that takes skill. I would definitely recommend Dr. Buchanan and his team at Vivify!
Dr. Buchanan is the Top Notch all around!! From the first appointment, to surgery and follow up his services and care was A+! Dr. Buchanan cares and listens carefully. He will give you all your options and is very detailed, so you will have all the information needed to make the right choice. His staff is amazing too! I never felt rushed and he answered all my questions! I was told by my lymphatic massage girl that his work is “better than the $100,000 work in Beverly Hills”. I’m very happy and satisfied with my results so far. Thank you Dr. Buchanan for such great work and I’m looking forward to seeing you again for my next surgery.
